Drain indicator light is flashing

Clean the filter combination as follows:

• Switch the dishwasher off.

• 

• Turn the handle backwards to release the filter combination (1).

• Remove the filter combination (2).

• Remove any coarse soiling.

• Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water.

• Use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling.

• Ensure that coarse particles do not get into the circulation system and cause a blockage there.

• To clean the insides of the filter, the flap must be opened:

  • 

  • Press the recessed grips together in the direction of the arrows (1).

  • Open the filter flap (2).

• Rinse all the parts under running water.

• Then close the flap so that the catch engages.

• 

• Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

• Then turn the handle forwards until both arrows point towards each other. This will lock the filter combination in place.

Clean the drain pump and the non-return valve as follows:

• Switch the dishwasher off.

• Disconnect the mains plug.

• Remove the filter combination from the wash cabinet (see above).

• Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a small container.

• 

• Press the catch for the non-return valve inwards (1).

• Pull the non-return valve up and out (2).

• Rinse the non-return valve well under running water.

• Remove all foreign objects from the non-return valve.

• 

• The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).

• Risk of injury from glass splinters.

  It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump.

• Remove any foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it. You will feel a little resistance when you turn the impeller.

• Carefully replace the non-return valve.

Remove any kinks or loops from the drain hose.

Keep an eye on these points for a while afterwards, as the plastic may weaken and the material may tear.

In the event of any damage, the drain hose must be replaced.

Contact Miele Customer Service.

Frequent use can result in deposits in the drain hose.
